Here's a casual thought: if you, as a developer, were able to generate code instantaneously, what time would be required to 0) gather initial requirements and create Jira tickets, 1) re-work your code based on changing requirements, 2) re-build and re-package your solution for testing, and 3) have your dedicated QA or acceptance team evaluate your packaged code in a staging and or production capacity? Because those components are, fundamentally, a significant portion of the time estimate required to make plans from a business perspective–and nearly all of them are largely outside your control. AND-most importantly-your ability to gauge those timelines, without a single Git commit, is what separates highly-paid engineers from n00bs.
